Databases (specific to Earth Sciences)

BioOne. 2000-present.
"Searchable and browsable, full-text journals published by small societies and non-commercial publishers. Journals tend to emphasize plant, animal, and ecological research. Not very much biomedical, cellular, or molecular biology literature, especially as it relates to humans."

GEOBASE. 1980-present. "
A multidisciplinary database providing citations and abstracts to topics in physical geography, ecology, geography, oceanography, geomechanics, and international development studies."

Toxline. Last 5 years. "
Provides information in all areas of toxicology, including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pesticides, environmental pollutants, and mutagens and teratogens."

General Databases

EconLit. 1969-present. "The premier index to scholarly aspects of economics." Includes dissertaions, working papers, books, and English language scholarly journals. You can limit your search to specific geographic regions of the world.
